We had a week full of new procedures and some fun surprises! We earned a Fall party for today by receiving 20 compliments by other teachers on our impressive behavior. Awesome! We enjoyed a fun memory type group game as well as some fall treats.
Curriculum Updates
Writing- The students picked one of their Personal Narrative stories from their entries and we will begin the writing process next week. We can't wait to get started!
Math- We are jumping into an exciting new system in Math called Math Workshop next week! The students will be grouped according to their needs and rotate between three different stations. We start with a whole class mini-lesson and then the students move into math exploration activities, group work, and meeting with the teacher. I love how excited our class is to start this!
Science- We continued our study on plants and their adaptations. Ask your child about the plant that they are creating! They are using real life adaptations to create a make-believe plant that can survive in a specific habitat.
Reading- We will continue to work on our reading stamina and on picking good fit books. We are also moving into learning about character traits and how they can affect the story.
